Technical rear axle for Yeti XL applications

Supplied as one set, this steel #45 rear axle is specified for Axial Racing Yeti XL chassis as a dependable replacement or upgrade. The 8mm hex interface matches common wheel fitment to maintain repeatable wheel positioning and drivetrain alignment for scale off-road use.

Service and fitment notes: verify axle bore and hex dimensions before installation, preserve factory shims and spacers during rebuild, and confirm driveshaft engagement and bearing clearances after fitting. The component is intended to improve consistency of wheel mounting and reduce wear-related play in the rear assembly.

What checks confirm correct fitment?

Measure existing axle bore and 8mm hex interface, confirm spline engagement and clearance, and trial-fit with original spacers to verify alignment prior to full assembly.

Any lubrication recommendations?

Use appropriate light grease on bearing interfaces and ensure mating faces are clean; avoid over greasing retention areas that rely on friction fit.

Will the axle improve wheel runout consistency?

A hardened steel axle with a correctly seated 8mm hex can reduce play and improve repeatability of wheel mounting, aiding consistent tracking and tyre wear.

Is additional modification required for performance setups?

Most installs are direct-fit when dimensions match; for specialised setups consult hub specifications and consider shimming or bearing changes to optimise alignment.
